Does not explain or even teach anything. Can't understand her and doesn't go over material, just rambles about "examples". You have to teach yourself. Waste of a class and tuition.

WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER TAKEN! She literally mumbles to herself in an accent you will never understand. Going to class is absolutely pointless! She only attempts to read powerpoint. It is a good class to do homework in because that is the only useful way to spend your time. You need to read the textbook to teach yourself in order to pass.

A great professor that is passionate about the material and makes it clear that she cares about each student. Some may find her accent difficult to understand but I never saw anyone having trouble with it. Macroeconomics is fairly difficult by nature to understand and she doesn't allow cheat sheets for easy As so be prepared to study.

Professor Skeete really made this reading class enjoyable. Constant checking up on work and an excellent guidance through the course really made me enjoy her class.The exams were very doable and because of the amount of tests at home a good preparation was automatic.

She is a really smart professor who really cares about her students in and outside of the classroom. She taught macroeconomics which is a hard topic, in an engaging way students would understand. She is understanding of students and is a great professor and person. I would absolutely take this class again.

cannot recommend, its very hard to listen to her as her english is not great and she jumps back and forth from random things during her lecture. cengage is also required and around $160 for the semester and you won't really learn anything with it but homework is on that. she also gives additional worksheets in class in addition to cengage.

I was nervous about taking this class initially because I am not much of a Finance person, however Dr. Skeete has done a great job throughout the semester explaining the concepts thoroughly. She has always been available for anything I may need and it really feels like she is a professor who cares. I am glad I didnt end up backing out of the course

Great person, not the best teacher. She is so sweet but her teaching style is super hard to follow and honestly more confusing than just reading the notes yourself. Ended up having to teach myself most of the class and the tests were only around 33 questions so missing only a few caused many people to do poorly.

Bad reviews should be mindful of their authors, who aren't great at working with people different from themselves. Dr. Skeete takes time to make sure each student is doing well. I believe she brings a cool perspective to international economics. Overall, she has developed a class that works best with motivated, engaged students.

Dr. Skeete is a caring professor who connects with students through humor and creates a positive class environment. She offers extra credit, matches your final exam score with your lowest test grade (if higher), and drops the lowest homework grade. However, tests are in person and not open note. I did not try and got a B. She wants students to pass

Professor Skeete is super nice as a person, but her class was so hard to sit through. It was genuinely one of the most boring lecture-based classes I have ever taken, and the lecture could be completed in half the time. However, every class you miss does reduce your attendance grade, so you have to go. Tests were pretty easy though!

Professor Skeete is one of the best at UNCW. Her lectures are easy to follow, all lectures are posted on Canvas, she allows students to earn extra credit through Kahoot games, and she is very passionate about what she teaches. She helps students inside and outside the classroom and cares for her students' future. I highly recommend Dr. Skeete.

Dr. Skeete truly cares about her students. She offers ways to improve your grade like extra credit, re-doing homework, and having a final replace the lowest test grade. She is a great professor to get to know on a deeper level to help your academic and professional development. I had a great time taking her course and would recommend her!

This professor was an absolute joy. She is one of the most inspirational and nicest professors you will meet and learn from. I understand that some people may have difficulty; however, if you give the class a chance and put in the effort, you can learn a lot from the lectures. Just ensure you are taking a lot of notes, she is super open to emails.

Insanely boring. Talks during class about absolutely nothing related for most of it. Has an accent that can be hard to understand anything. Literally will talk about nothing for half the class, lectures could be half as long. Exams are weighed light and final can replace a grade so easy to do well in. Attendance is graded. Be ready to teach urself.

She is so sweet and really wants students to succeed. She gives a study guide and a bunch of practice problems to help prepare you for exams which is so nice. She weighs your grade very fairly and makes it so easy to do well in the class. Some lectures are a little boring, but I think it is hard to make some topics in econ interesting!

She was good. There were times she might unintentionally rage bait you in the beginning with how she will answer your questions, but you get used her style. She draws things on the which is helpful for graphs. She does Kahoot before the exam for 1 bonus pt. Final exam not cumulative. Homework is helpful for exam and drop hw grade. Attendance counts

Dr. Skeete was a pleasure to take ECN-222 (Principles of Macroeconomics) with! She has a very eager personality and is very knowledgeable about the subject matter. She doesn't allow formula sheets for exams but she doesn't overwhelm you with too many at a time and she gives extra credit on the exams via participation and bonus questions.

Professor Skeete is such caring and creditable person! I enjoyed her energy and enthusiasm so much. The class was a newer one and it was structured differently than any of my other classes and kind of hard to follow. If you do not enjoy semester-long projects and data analysis, then do not take this class.

Dr. Skeete wants students to get good grades. Her explanations can get confusing, but if you follow the slides, you'll be fine. Study guides that tell you exactly what's on the test and all the answers are on the PowerPoints she posts. The homework is on MindTap and there's an occasional worksheet. Her class is straight forward and she's awesome.
